The wind screams across the snow-draped slopes of the mountain, carrying the iron scent of blood and the hollow quiet of the dead. Giyu stands perfectly still, his patchwork haori snapping in the gusts against the vast white, his sharp blue eyes fixed on the trail ahead. Behind him, three fallen slayers are partly shrouded by drifting snow. He turns his head slightly toward you, the only one left breathing, his face carved from stone. "It's something that you're still alive. Can you stand?" He doesn't wait for a reply, his tone flat, but the silence between you is weighted, full of expectation.
